Letters Patent No. 100,516, dated March 8, 1870.

I IMPROVED MEDICAL COMPOUND OR OINTMENT.

The Schedule referred tolin these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all tl'hom itanay concern: I p

Be it known that I, GEORGE I). FIELD, of the city of New Orleans, and State of Louisiana, have invented a certain new, useful, and' improved Medical Oompound, which I distinguish by the name of Fields Magic Ointment and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same and of my method of compounding and using it.

Snpposingl wish to make ten pounds of my compound, I take of charred or burnt old leather,.as for example, the leather of worn-out boots, shoes, harness, or the like" thing, one pound or tenth part; of lardor tallow, or other equivalent oleaginous substance, two pounds; of sugar of lead, two pounds; of red precipitate, three pounds; and ofsulphur and cloves, each one pound, and put them together in a suitable mortar, wherein I reduce them, by pounding with a pews ter pestle, to a complete condition of disintegration, and effect a thorough admixture ofall the parts. The mass, when thus reduced, assumes the consistency of p a thick paste,aud is of course, as to every atom of it, completely homogeneous. "It is now put into proper receptacles and isready for use;

' My ointment is a specific for all cutaneous erupand all similar diseases in dogs and hogs, and in thisand all other cases its efl'ect is wonderfully prompt and rapid.

It isapplied after the manner of all salves, that is to .say, by spreading it over the sore or diseased part, with or without a covering rag or cloth, according as the location of the part afl'ected may or may not require the use of such cloth.

Having thus described my invention,

\Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is--- The compound herein described, when the same is composed of the ingredierts given'in the proportions stated and is compounded substantially-in the manner herein set forth.
